whoever told you that, needs to get as far away from a wrench and working on anything as they can, because i have herd customers tell me that myth all day long, because some other idiot told it to them, its very untrue and has nothing to do with the wheel balance, a spin balance is the best balance you can get on a tire, thats why thier are $20,000 machines that balance tires, but anything more then 2 oz's of weight, is a bit much, and anything over 3oz i would either take the tire off and spin it on the rim to try and get a lower weight, or get a new rimLonebrave said:Have you checked the balance yourself? Was it a reputable shop that balanced it for you?
I think I saw somewhere that you can check it on your bike if you take off the calipers to get a rough idea of if it is near balanced. Just spin the wheel a couple times and see if there is a heavy spot.
